Vagina Monologues Jared Magill News Writer "It looks like we have a lovely bunch of vaginas out there," said Gender Studies Club co-president Trisha Nicole Hansen-Campbell to a near capacity Ragan Theater audience. Her declaration came at the opening of The Vagina Monologues which was performed by a cast of about 35 UVSC students, faculty and staff in conjunction with V-Day last Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. The performers, dressed in black with red accessories, took turns reading some of the more memorable excerpts from the anthology of testimonials compiled by Eve Ensler in 200 1 . Among the readings were "Hair," "The Flood," "The Little Coochie Snorcher That Could," "My Angry Vagina" and "Smell," just to list a few. Usually observed on or around Valentine's Day, V-Day is a global movement that helps anti-violence organizations throughout the world continue to expand their core work on the ground, while drawing public attention to the larger fight to stop worldwide violence including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation, sexual slavery against, women and girls. "The purpose of this event is to increase awareness, to stop the violence and improve our communities by supporting women," said Carmell Hoopes-Clark,co-president of the UVSC Gender Studies Club and organizer of the event. Tickets to this year's performance were sold out despite minimal advertising. According to event organizers, V-Day's 2007 theme "Reclaiming Peace" seeks to make the connection between the worldwide anti-violence work of V-Day activists with a collective desire for peace and an end to armed conflicts. "We are saying that if a government supports the use of force, weapons, violence as a method of control and dominance, this models and gives license to the same kind of behavior at home," stated performer Tiffany Knoell.
